Stacking correlation length in single-stranded DNA

Xavier Viader-Godoy, Maria Manosas, Felix Ritort

Base stacking is crucial in nucleic acid stabilization, from DNA duplex hybridization to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) protein binding. While stacking energies are tiny in ssDNA, the…

Characterizing the Hard and Soft Nanoparticle-Protein Corona with Multilayer Adsorption

Oriol Vilanova, Alberto Martinez-Serra, Marco P Monopoli +1

Nanoparticles (NPs) in contact with biological fluid adsorb biomolecules into a corona. This corona comprises proteins that strongly bind to the NP (hard corona) and loosely bound…

Curvature induces and enhances transport of spinning colloids through narrow channels

Eric Cereceda-López, Marco De Corato, Ignacio Pagonabarraga +3

The effect of curvature and how it induces and enhances the transport of colloidal particles driven through narrow channels represent an unexplored research avenue. Here we combine…

Photocatalytic magnetic microgyroscopes with activity-tunable precessional dynamics

Dolachai Boniface, Arthur V. Straube, Pietro Tierno

Magnetic nano/microrotors are passive elements that spin around an axis due to an external rotating field while remaining confined to a close plane. They have been used to date in…

Active nematic pumps

Ignasi Vélez-Ceron, Rodrigo C. V. Coelho, Pau Guillamat +4

Microfluidics involves the manipulation of flows at the microscale, typically requiring external power sources to generate pressure gradients. Alternatively, harnessing flows from…

Bidirectional Zigzag Growth from Clusters of Active Colloidal Shakers

Gaspard Junot, Andrés Javier Manzano González, Pietro Tierno

Driven or self-propelling particles moving in viscoelastic fluids recently emerge as novel class of active systems showing a complex yet rich set of phenomena due to the non-Newton…

Large scale zigzag pattern emerging from circulating active shakers

Gaspard Junot, Marco De Corato, Pietro Tierno

We report the emergence of large zigzag bands in a population of reversibly actuated magnetic rotors that behave as active shakers, namely squirmers that shake the fluid around the…
